Davis verbally offered on be half of the city council to reg ulate traffic on the two streets by requiring parallel parking to provide four lanes of traffic and banning parking of wide trucks on the two highways within the city limits. Ress said t}i'£ “department would insist on correction of the dangerous drive^in theater cor ner; IVz miles northwest of the city. He indicated consideration would be given to a sweeping curve south of the theater to supplant the aipw^ dangerous curve now in use north of *he theater, where two persons were killed last fall. Besides Nelson. Davis. Grif fin and Krolter. other members of the delegation were Paul Be ha. D. C. Schaffer, Dale Foreo, L. D. Putnam and Dr. G. E. Peters of Randolph (president of the Nebraska Highway 2G association). The delegation was armed wuh emphatically-worded resolutions unanimously adopted Monday evening by the Chamber of Commerce. Fifty attended Mon day’s meeting—the largest turn out in many a month. Ress said the street pledge should be made in writing “very soon.” The council will be laced wiLh the street-widening prob lem from the Grattan township library corner (Sixth; and Doug las) eastward to Tenth street; from the Texaco-Conoco corner (Second and Douglas) west four clocks to the curve, and from the Spelts-Ray Lbr.-Fox hotel cor ne (Fourth and Everett) south three blocks to the Burlington railroad tracks. In addition, some obstructions (such as canopies, fuel pumps, etc.) along the route would have to be eliminated. Although the council has taken no formal action, the idea of a ‘wo-hour (or some other) limit on parallel parking would apply in the business districts. Some observers predict that access space used by some establish ments necessarily would be re duced. , Enforcing the parking regula tions would become the respon sibility of the police department “Roosters,” townspeople who monopolize parking places, would be obliged to go elsewhere. Legallv, the cily council can put the'street-widening proposi tion to a general vote under the general obligation provisions of city government or the council can simply create an improve ment district and assess the abuiting real estate owners with out a vote. In either event, 50 percent federal participation can oe obtained.

Coach to USAF < - '( The St. Mary’s academy Card- j inals tried valiantly to hand | Coach Bob Berigan a going-away victory in two tries during the | past seven days. But they railed. " At St. Francis Mission, S.D., | Friday night, the Cards were ' punished, 38-52, by the Indians, j who boasted too much expcr ' ience, height and speed. Duane i Weier managed 15 points for the ' losers.

Increasing its signal stren- j j gth five times, KHOL, a CBS af- i ] filiate, expects to be audible and i : visible here consistently. The transmitter is about 150 airline , miles from O’Neill and at the ' 56,000-watt level reception is fail here.
